# Simple-Discord-Bot

This is just a Simple Discord Bot that runs on Node JS. 

The bot is open source as it's on Github for everyone to use and modify.

## Getting Started

To get the bot up and running download the source code and following the next few steps.

1. Install the required packages

    ```bash

    npm install

    ```

2. Copy the file `.env.example` and name it `.env`

3. Fill all values in the `.env` file

   - You need to go to the [Discord Developer Portal](https://discord.com/developers/applications) and create a bot (if you don't have one yet)

   - Goto the "General Information" page and copy the "Application ID" and paste it as the `DISCORD_APPID`.

   - Goto the "Bot" page and click on _Copy_ found in the Token area, then paste that as the `DISCORD_TOKEN`.

4. Ready to start programming a bot!

    To start the bot you can run `npm start`, wait a moment till you see _Authentication Complete!_

## Configuration

To configure the bot you can use a dot env file for setup of your Bot token.

**Do not commit your secrets to GitHub!  Use the `.env` file!**

## How to use

Everything in this project uses the concept of "plugins" for the commands.

You can create and add your own commands by creating a new JS file in the "plugins" (found in src/plugins) folder.

The file gets automatically loaded when the server starts up.

Be sure to take a look at the other plugins that already in this project to see how to create a new one.
